Asymptotic Goldbach conjecture

Prove the asymptotic version of Goldbach's conjecture concerning representations of sufficiently large even integers as sums of two primes.

Background

The paper discusses a conditional result of Granville asserting the existence of a subset of the primes with a prescribed additive basis property. That result assumes the asymptotic version of Goldbach's conjecture, so the conjectural status of the underlying two-prime representation problem remains relevant to the context. The paper's own theorem does not cover the two-summand case addressed by Granville.

Assuming the asymptotic version of Goldbach's conjecture, Granville Theorem 2 showed that there is a subset $A\subseteq P$ with $|A\cap [1,x]| \asymp (x\log x){1/2}$ such that every large even integer is the sum of two elements of $A$.

We assumed some conditions on the basis of our observations. With one of these assumptions we could be able to produce a function $\tau(n)$ and prove that $0<T(n)<\tau(n)<1-\frac{2}{n}$ for large $x$ which implies $x$ can be expressed as a sum of two odd primes. The other one leads to simply $0<T(n)<1$. All we need is to prove these conditions in future to complete the solution.

Though this (heuristic) arguments justify the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture, this does not provide a proof for it as the discrete correction factor and its application on powers of $\left(1-\frac{1}{p}\right)$ (as in the last step) are not yet proved rigorously.
